Grateful that he’s wanted. Would not be grateful if he left after a few years &
didn’t build anything. BYU can’t afford to hire coaches like that. We need to hire program builders.
Hopefully Pope can build a real program at BYU.

Honestly Pope interviewing twice with AZ takes the shine off him a little for me

would you take a different job that paid you an extra million of two?

It depends on a lot of factors. What I make currently, career goals etc

A lot of factors? For an extra $1-$2 million? No way

For Pope it very well would probably be the best move/easy decision. Would wreck

Of course he can leave. But would take the shine off him. Why wouldn't it?

If you're already making 1 million, another million really doesn't matter.

$1MM isn't what it used to be, so no I disagree.

Not necessarily. I’m almost the same age as Pope and make good money. So for 50%

I get that. But BYU, with missions etc we need 5yr coaches at min.

I say let's swing for the fences by always grabbing the best coach we can. If he jumps ship after 2 years, then so be it

Then we should hire below average coaches.

That's fine. Is there a pipeline of successful LDS bball coaches to take over?

Does Pope care about a stable of LDS coaches?

Nearly everybody is a job hopper. And we don’t pay close to enough to prevent it.

Did he proactively apply or did AZ reach out to to him? If they reached out, then of course you interview.
